In the interview, she mentioned a scene where she wore a high school uniform. 

The 33-year-old actress said that they "should have stopped wearing school uniforms by now." This refers to a scene where she and Park Hyung Sik, who play the role of Yeo Jeong Woo, are high school rivals. 

However, host Jang Do Yeon mentioned "Moving" star Cha Tae Hyun, who also did the same thing and played the role of a high school student at 47. 

"So what? Are you trying to catch up with Cha Tae Hyun? Cha Tae Hyun is the best actor in student acting. He is almost like a vampire," she said, as obtained by an outlet.

To recall, the renowned actor mentioned in a previous interview that he thought that they would cast a young Cha Tae Hyun for his high school scenes in "Moving."

To his surprise, he was asked to play the character, and he wore a uniform. 

The same goes for Park Shin Hye and Park Hyung Sik for their K-drama "Doctor Slump," who also donned school uniforms in the early episodes of the show.
